You may have seen last week’s introduction to PSALMs. Now it is time for the second movie. Once again, there is no theme or correlation with anything – I just made the animation that came to mind with the Legos at hand.
Now only 148 more to go.

Inspired by both The Brick Testament and Wallace and Gromit, I made a movie. Okay, it is really not much of a movie, just a couple seconds of animation. But it is fun to watch.
PSALM stands for Progressive Stop Action Lego Movie. The official term is stop-motion animation, not stop-action movie, but I took some liberties to make a nice acronym. And if you use Lego people (AKA minifigs) for the characters in the movie, you’re supposed to call it a brickfilm or something like that. Oh well, I’ll stick with PSALM.
Now only 149 more to go.
Notes:
But his delight is in the law of the LORD, And in His law he meditates day and night.

The best herbal supplement out there has to be Ginkgo Balboa.
With a name like that, how could anything else compete?
Ginkgo Balboa – the undisputed heavyweight champion of the herbal-supplements world!
What?
It’s ginkgo biloba?
Oh, never mind.
Then a champion came out from the armies of the Philistines named Goliath, from Gath, whose height was six cubits and a span.

My parents always have cats on their farm, and the variety of cats usually produces a good crop of kittens each year.
This year was no different and there was even a bonus: a heterochromiate (or is that heterochromian?). Having just watched a movie that had an antagonist whose main identifying mark was his eye color, I think that this cat would make the perfect sidekick.
As for those who seemed to be important—whatever they were makes no difference to me; God does not judge by external appearance—those men added nothing to my message.

Before I get started on today’s topic, I will digress on the title. I did cringe as I typed out those words; it took all I had (okay, maybe not all I had, but something at least) not to correct them to “I Have Eyes for Only You” or even “I Have Eyes for You Only”. But, as “I Only Have Eyes for You” is a common phrase, I thought it best to keep it as the title.
Let’s think through that phrase a little more. What does it mean? Is it “I Only”? If I am the only one who has eyes for you, then you must not be much to look at (errrr, at which to look).
Or what if “only” isn’t supposed to modify “I” – maybe “Only Have Eyes”? That means that only my eyes are for you – not my ears, not my arms, not anything else. That’s a lousy deal too.
Wait! Maybe “Only” is supposed to modify “Have”. That’s a curious case. That would imply what? that I never had eyes for you before? that my eyes are present-tense only? Scratch that – they probably meant something else.
It really is a poorly-worded phrase. That’s about the worst place they could have put the word “Only”.
Now on to what I originally wanted this post to contain…
When you’re looking for that perfect someone, consider the following, which will be of benefit to your future children.
Marry someone who has a prescription that’s the same as yours, but with the opposite polarity (near- or far-sighted). That way the near-sightedness and far-sightedness will cancel, and your kids will have great vision.
I’m sure you’d also have to factor astigmatism in there too, but I will leave that as an exercise for the reader.
You will only look on with your eyes And see the recompense of the wicked.

Since this past Saturday was the last weekend in August, I thought it would be good to take the vehicle out for one more spin while the weather was good. I took the kids to the local raspberry-picking farm place.
Here is a picture of my ride, parked on the field at the raspberry farm..
What’s that, the side shot of the Viper doesn’t do it justice? Okay, here’s a better angle of the Viper.
How do I fit two kids in car seats in a Viper? Let’s go back to the first picture and I’ll point it out to you.
There’s my vehicle. I was just taking a picture of my minivan and that pesky Viper was in the way. I hate it when that happens.
I do wonder how much grass the Viper scraped off the field as it was driving through the parking lot. It is just a regular grass field and has to have some bumps larger than the ground clearance of the car.
So he made his chariot ready and took his people with him;

One of the joys of wireless internet on these newfangled laptoppy thingies is finding a Wi-Fi connection. I normally don’t take my laptop somewhere unless I know there is going to be free Wi-Fi there, unlike my brother who takes his iTouch (okay, iPod Touch, but no one really calls it that) everywhere and has fun seeing if free Wi-Fi exists wherever he is.
I was in a place that I knew had access, and I knew the router had the memorable name of “linksys”. I had my wireless program scan the airwaves and it gave me a list of routers so that I could select linksys.
I had to laugh when I saw the other router named “GET YOUR OWN CONNECTION”. Note: it was encrypted. I’m thinking they shouldn’t have a problem anymore.
He who steals must steal no longer; but rather he must labor, performing with his own hands what is good, so that he will have something to share with one who has need.
